High prevalence of impaired glucose metabolism among children and adolescents living with HIV in Ghana. HIV Med 2024; 25:577-586. [PMID: 38240173 PMCID: PMC11078607 DOI: 10.1111/hiv.13614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy (ART)-associated metabolic abnormalities, including impairment of glucose metabolism, are prevalent in adults living with HIV. However, the prevalence and pathogenesis of impaired glucose metabolism in children and adolescents living with HIV, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, are not well characterized. We investigated the prevalence of impaired glucose metabolism among children and adolescents living with perinatally infected HIV in Ghana. METHODS In this multicentre, cross-sectional study, we recruited participants from 10 paediatric antiretroviral treatment clinics from January to June 2022 in 10 facilities in Greater Accra and Eastern regions of Ghana. We determined impaired glucose metabolism in the study sample by assessing fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin resistance as defined by the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. The prevalence of impaired glucose metabolism using each criterion was stratified by age and sex. The phenotypic correlates of glucose metabolism markers were also assessed among age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). RESULTS We analysed data from 393 children and adolescents living with HIV aged 6-18 years. A little over half (205/393 or 52.25%) of the children were female. The mean age of the participants was 11.60 years (SD = 3.50), with 122/393 (31.00%) aged 6-9 years, 207/393 (52.67%) aged 10-15 years, and 62/393 (15.78%) aged 16-18 years. The prevalence rates of glucose impairment in the study population were 15.52% [95% confidence interval (CI): 12.26-19.45], 22.39% (95% CI: 18.54-26.78), and 26.21% (95% CI: 22.10-30.78) using HbA1c, HOMA-IR, and FBS criteria, respectively. Impaired glucose metabolism detected by FBS and HOMA-IR was higher in the older age group, whereas the prevalence of abnormal HbA1c levels was highest among the youngest age group. Age and BMI were positively associated with FBS and HOMA-IR (p < 0.001). However, there was negative correlation of WHR with HOMA-IR (p < 0.01) and HbA1c (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION The high prevalence of impaired glucose metabolism observed among the children and adolescents living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa is of concern as this could contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome in adulthood.

Dyslipidemia and Nutritional Status of HIV-Infected Children and Adolescents on Antiretroviral Treatment at the Comprehensive Chronic Care and Training Center of Jimma Medical Center. HIV AIDS (Auckl) 2023; 15:537-547. [PMID: 37719174 PMCID: PMC10503505 DOI: 10.2147/hiv.s418729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Highly active antiretroviral treatment is beneficial to suppress human immune virus replication in infected individuals. However, dyslipidemia and other metabolic abnormalities have emerged due to antiretroviral treatment. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents on antiretroviral treatment varies from 20% to 70%. The lack of data on children and adolescents in Ethiopia was the rationale for conducting this study. We aimed to determine prevalence of dyslipidemia and nutritional status in children and adolescents on follow-up at Jimma medical center. Materials and Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 150 children and adolescents on follow-up at Jimma medical center. A systematic sampling technique was employed. An interview was carried out to collect socioeconomic and demographic data and a review of medical records was carried out to collect patients' clinical data. Anthropometric data were computed using the CDC growth chart. About 3-5mL of fasting blood was collected to measure lipid profile. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to find the association between risk factors and lipid profile. Results The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia in this study was 72%. About 72% and 21.3% of study subjects had low high-density lipoprotein and high triglyceride, respectively. Significant associations were observed between BMI for age ≤5% (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.14-3.66; P=0.015) and low high-density lipoprotein; greater than 150 months on treatment (AOR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.03; P=0.01) and high triglyceride; and BMI for age ≤5% (AOR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.03-1.37; P=0.04) and high triglyceride. Conclusion BMI for age <5%, treatment duration of greater than 150 months, and parents' educational level were significantly associated with dyslipidemia, so it is recommended that monitoring of those variables will help to reduce dyslipidemia and its complications in children and adolescents receiving treatment.

Abstract
We appraised the relationship between the biological and the chronological age and estimated the rate of biological aging in HIV-infected patients. Two independent biomarkers, the relative telomere length and iron metabolism parameters, were analyzed in younger (<35) and older (>50) HIV-infected and uninfected patients (control group). In our control group, telomeres of younger patients were significantly longer than telomeres of older ones. However, in HIV-infected participants, the difference in the length of telomeres was lost. By combining the length of telomeres with serum iron, ferritin, and transferrin iron-binding capacity, a new formula for determination of the aging process was developed. The life expectancy of the healthy population was related to their biological age, and HIV-infected patients were biologically older. The effect of antiretroviral HIV drug therapies varied with respect to the biological aging process. IMPORTANCE This article is focused on the dynamics of human aging. Moreover, its interdisciplinary approach is applicable to various systems that are aging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE People with HIV (PWH) are increasingly experiencing non-communicable complications, including renal impairment, which are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Limited information exists surrounding renal impairment in paediatric PWH, of which the majority live in sub-Saharan Africa, and further information is required to guide clinical practice. This study describes the prevalence of new or worsening renal impairment in adolescents commencing antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Zimbabwe and associated risk factors. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Data were collected between January 2010 to January 2019 from the medical records of adolescents aged 12-17 years initiating ART at an outpatient HIV clinic in Zimbabwe. Renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) was calculated using the Full Age Spectrum formula. Proteinuria was defined as a single urine dipstick score of ≥1+. Potential predictors of renal impairment at follow-up were assessed by logistical regression. RESULTS Two hundred and sixty-six adolescents were included in analysis. Baseline renal impairment (eGFR < 90 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ) and proteinuria were present in 13% and 7% of the cohort, respectively. After a median of 4.1 years (interquartile range: 1.9-6.9) following ART commencement, mean eGFR increased by 10 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ( P < 0.01), and the prevalence of renal impairment decreased to 8% ( P < 0.01). Baseline renal impairment predicted renal impairment at follow-up (odds ratio [OR] 8.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.81-28.68; P < 0.01). Proteinuria trended towards association with renal impairment at follow-up (OR 4.39; 95% CI 0.95-20.31; P = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS Renal impairment is common in adolescent ART-naïve PWH, and baseline renal impairment is associated with longstanding renal impairment, whereas baseline proteinuria trended towards an association with longstanding renal impairment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION HIV infection is associated with insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia driven by HIV-associated immune dysregulation and antiretroviral therapy (ART). Children living with perinatally acquired HIV (CHIV) face many decades of exposure to these factors. We evaluated the longitudinal trajectory of insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia in CHIV and HIV-exposed uninfected children (CHEU), compared with children HIV-unexposed (CHU). METHODS Four hundred and eighty-five children (141 CHIV, 169 CHEU, 175 CHU) aged 5-16 years, previously part of CHER and P1060 trials, were followed annually at Tygerberg Children's Hospital, South Africa. The primary outcome was Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Secondary outcomes included low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, android fat mass and SBP. Outcomes were evaluated using linear mixed effects models, adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS CHIV had 73% greater HOMA-IR than CHU in ages 6-8 years (95% CI 15.9-158.2%, P < 0.001), and 24.7% greater HOMA-IR than CHU in ages 9-10 years (0.3-55.1%, P = 0.04). By 10-11 years, the difference was not significant (P = 0.161). Longitudinally, triglyceride-to-HDL was 47.94% (34.50-62.73%, P < 0.001) higher in CHIV vs. CHU; LDL was 0.25 mmol/l (0.10-0.39, P = 0.001) higher in CHIV vs. CHU; android fat mass was 11.57% (-21.11 to -0.87%, P = 0.035) lower in CHIV than CHU. No significant difference in SBP was found. CHEU and CHU had similar outcomes. CONCLUSION Early-treated CHIV have elevated insulin resistance, which resolves with time. Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio and LDL cholesterol were elevated into puberty. CHIV should be monitored for insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and subclinical cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assessed impaired fasting glucose and associated factors among perinatally HIV-infected adolescents and youths in Dar es salaam Tanzania. BACKGROUND Impaired fasting glucose is a marker of heightened risk for developing type 2 diabetes among perinatally HIV-infected individuals. Therefore, identifying individuals at this stage is crucial to enable early intervention. Therefore, we assessed impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and associated factors among perinatally HIV-infected population in Dar es salaam Tanzania. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 152 adolescents and youth attending HIV clinic at Muhimbili National Hospital and Infectious Disease Centre from July to August 2020. Fasting blood glucose (>8 hours) was measured using one-touch selects LifeScan, CA, USA. We also examined C-Reactive Protein and interleukin-6 inflammatory biomarkers in relation to impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Associations between categorical variables were explored using Chi-square, and poison regression with robust variance was used to calculate the prevalence ratios. RESULTS Of the 152 participants, the majority were male (n=83[54.6%]), and the median age was 15(14-18) years. Overweight or obesity was prevalent in 16.4%, while more than one in ten (13.2%) had high blood pressure (≥149/90mmHg). All participants were on antiretroviral therapy (ART); 46% had used medication for over ten years, and about one in three had poor medication adherence. Among the recruited participants, 29% had impaired fasting glucose. The odds of IFG were two times higher in males compared to females (PR, 2.07, 95% CI 1.19 -3.59 p=0.001). Moreover, we found with every increase of Interleukin 6 biomarker there was a 1.01 probability increase of impaired fasting glucose (PR, 1.01, 95% CI 1.00 - 1.02 p=0.003). CONCLUSION About one in three perinatally HIV-infected youths had impaired fasting glucose in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with males bearing the biggest brunt. Moreover, with every increase of 1.101 of the probability of having IFG increased. This calls for urgent measures to interrupt the progression to diabetes disease and prevent the dual burden of disease for this uniquely challenged population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Antiretroviral therapy (ART) scale-up has dramatically reduced rates of pediatric HIV mortality and morbidity. Children living with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV) are now expected to live through adolescence and well into adulthood, such that adolescents now represent the largest growing population living with HIV. This review aims to discuss the prevalence and mechanisms for cardiometabolic comorbidities in the setting of newer ART regimens and the research gaps that remain. RECENT FINDINGS Data highlight the continued risks of subclinical cardiometabolic complications in PHIV in the setting of newer ART. Novel techniques in imaging and omics may help identify early cardiometabolic abnormalities in this young population and potentially identify early changes in the mechanistic pathways related to these changes. Further studies to determine risk and management strategies of the cardiometabolic effects in PHIV adolescents, beyond ART, are warranted. Focus should be on prevention of these complications in youth to avoid new epidemic of diabetes and cardiovascular disease when these youths become aging adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early combined antiretroviral treatment (cART) in perinatally acquired HIV-1 children has been associated with a rapid viral suppression, small HIV-1 reservoir size and reduced mortality and morbidity. Immunometabolism has emerged as an important field in HIV-1 infection offering both relevant knowledge regarding immunopathogenesis and potential targets for therapies against HIV-1. OBJECTIVES To characterize the proteomic, lipidomic and metabolomic profile of HIV-1-infected children depending on their age at cART initiation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Plasma samples from perinatally HIV-1-infected children under suppressive cART who initiated an early cART (first 12 weeks after birth, EARLY, n = 10) and late cART (12-50 weeks after birth, LATE, n = 10) were analysed. Comparative plasma proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics analyses were performed by nanoLC-Orbitrap, UHPLC-qTOF and GC-qTOF, respectively. RESULTS Seven of the 188 proteins identified exhibited differences comparing EARLY and LATE groups of HIV-1-infected children. Despite no differences in the lipidomic (n = 115) and metabolomic (n = 81) profiles, strong correlations were found between proteins and lipid levels as well as metabolites, including glucidic components and amino acids, with clinical parameters. The ratio among different proteins showed high discriminatory power of EARLY and LATE groups. CONCLUSIONS Protein signature show a different proinflammatory state associated with a late cART introduction. Its associations with lipid levels and the relationships found between metabolites and clinical parameters may potentially trigger premature non-AIDS events in this HIV-1 population, including atherosclerotic diseases and metabolic disorders. Antiretroviral treatment should be started as soon as possible in perinatally acquired HIV-1-infected children to prevent them from future long-life complications.

FGF21 serum levels are related to insulin resistance, metabolic changes and obesity in Mexican people living with HIV (PLWH). PLoS One 2021; 16:e0252144. [PMID: 34019585 PMCID: PMC8139451 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0252144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Antiretroviral therapy has significantly improved prognosis in treatment against HIV infection, however, prolonged exposure is associated to cardiovascular diseases, lipodystrophy, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic alteration, as obesity which includes the accumulation of oxidative stress in adipose tissue. FGF21 is a peptide hormone that is known to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. FGF21 is expressed and secreted primarily in the liver and adipose tissue, promoting oxidation of glucose/fatty acids and insulin sensitivity. Alterations in FGF21 may be associated with the development of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that FGF21 protein levels are associated with metabolic abnormalities, placing special attention to the alterations in relation to the concurrence of overweight/obesity in people living with HIV (PLWH). Design Serum FGF21 was analyzed in 241 subjects, 160 PLWH and 81 unrelated HIV-uninfected subjects as a control group. Clinical records were consulted to obtain CD4+ cell counting and number of viral RNA copies. Serum FGF21 levels were tested for correlation with anthropometric and metabolic parameters; glucose, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglycerides, insulin and indexes of atherogenesis and insulin resistance (HOMA). Results The participants were classified into four groups: (i) PLWH with normal weight, (ii) PLWH with overweight/obesity, (iii) HIV-uninfected with normal weight, and (iv) HIV-uninfected with overweight/obesity. Insulin levels were higher in normal-weight PLWH than in the HIV-uninfected group but not statistically significant, however, for the overweight/obesity PLWH group, insulin levels were significantly higher in comparison with the other three groups (p<0.0001). For FGF21, serum levels were slightly higher in the overweight/obesity groups in both patients and controls. In HIV-infected subjects, FGF21 levels showed a strong positive correlation with triglycerides, insulin levels and insulin resistance with a p-value <0.0001. In the seronegative group, FGF21 was only correlated with weight and waist circumference, showing an important association of FGF21 levels with the degree of obesity of the individuals. Conclusion Insulin resistance and FGF21 elevations were observed in overweight-obese PLWH. FGF21 elevation could be viewed as a compensation mechanism as, in the control group, FGF21 correlations appeared to be confined to weight and waist circumference. This can be explained based on the action of FGF21 promoting the uptake of glucose in adipose tissue. In PLWH, FGF21 was low, possibly as a result of a change in adiposity leading to a metabolic disruption.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metabolic abnormalities are frequently reported in HIV infection. They were mainly related to the chronic infection and the use of antiretroviral therapy. OBJECTIVE Describe the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and treatment features of people living with HIV (PLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy and determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its associated factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study in the service of Infectious Diseases of the University Hospital of Monastir. We included all PLHIV on antiretroviral therapy for at least 3 months. Biological explorations based on metabolic parameters were performed systematically for all patients after informed consent. Metabolic syndrome was assessed according to the definitions of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2005. We divided the patients into two groups: Group A: PLHIV with metabolic syndrome (n=19) and Group B: PLHIV without metabolic syndrome (n=51). RESULTS We included in this study 70 PLVIH. The metabolic syndrome was noted in 19 cases (27.1%). The average age was 43.7 years in group A and 36.7 years in group B. Gender distribution were uniform in the two groups (P=0.4). HIV infection has been evolving for 9.7 and 5.8 years respectively in group A and B, P=0.017. Body mass index (BMI) was significantly higher in group A (26.4 vs 23.5kg/m2, P=0.008). Two patients in group A (10.5%) and 14 patients in group B (27.4%) had a low CD4 count (<200/mm3). Protease inhibitor regimens were prescribed in five cases (26.3%) in group A and 26 cases (50.9%) in group B. In multivariate models, Age over 40 (OR=9.9, 95% CI 2.4-40.6, P=0.001) and BMI ≥25 Kg/m2 (OR=8.47, 95% CI 1.94-36.8, p=0.004) were both independently associated with the presence of the metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome is common among PLHIV on antiretroviral therapy. The identification of factors associated is a main parameter for early detection of metabolic risk and personalized management.

Adipocytokine dysregulation, abnormal glucose metabolism, and lipodystrophy in HIV-infected adolescents receiving protease inhibitors. Cytokine 2020; 136:155145. [PMID: 32920318 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2020.155145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2020] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 05/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipodystrophy is common in HIV-infected patients receiving protease inhibitors (PIs), stavudine, and zidovudine. Adipocytokines may be altered in lipodystrophy. We evaluated risk factors, adipocytokine levels, insulin resistance, and lipid profiles in HIV-infected adolescents with different lipodystrophy types. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in 80 perinatally HIV-infected adolescents receiving PI-based highly active antiretroviral therapy for ≥ 6 months. Patients underwent oral glucose tolerance tests and measurements of high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin, leptin, resistin, insulin, and lipids. They were classified into 3 groups based on the clinical findings: no lipodystrophy, isolated lipoatrophy, and any lipohypertrophy (isolated lipohypertrophy or combined type). RESULTS Of the 80 patients (median age, 16.7 years), 18 (22.5%) had isolated lipoatrophy, while 8 (10%) had any lipohypertrophy (four with isolated lipohypertrophy, and four with the combined type). In a multivariate analysis, longer exposure to stavudine (OR: 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06; p = 0.005) and indinavir (OR: 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06; p = 0.012) were associated with lipoatrophy, while longer exposure to didanosine (OR: 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.08; p = 0.017) and indinavir (OR: 1.10; 95% CI, 1.00-1.21; p = 0.045) were associated with any lipohypertrophy. Leptin levels were highest in the any-lipohypertrophy group and lowest in the isolated-lipoatrophy group (p = 0.013). HMW adiponectin levels were significantly lowest in the any-lipohypertrophy group and highest in the no-lipodystrophy group (p = 0.001). There were no significant differences in the levels of resistin among the three groups (p = 0.234). The prevalence of insulin resistance (p = 0.002) and prediabetes/diabetes (p < 0.001) were significantly highest in the any-lipohypertrophy group. Patients with lipoatrophy and those without lipodystrophy had comparable degrees of insulin resistance (p = 0.292). In multiple linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, and waist-height ratio, HMW adiponectin levels were associated with Matsuda index (β = 0.5; p = 0.003) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) (β = 40.1; p = 0.010) and almost significantly associated with homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p = 0.054). Leptin and resistin levels were not associated with HOMA-IR, Matsuda index, or QUICKI (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Abnormal glucose metabolism and dysregulation of adipocytokines were common in the HIV-infected adolescents with lipohypertrophy and the combined type. Preventive screening for cardiovascular diseases caused by metabolic alterations should be routinely performed.

Abstract
Background There is growing concern as regards the emergence of metabolic disorders among children living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) worldwide. However, there is paucity of data on the correlates of metabolic indices among HIV-positive children in Africa. Methods This study examined 84 HIV-positive children on HAART recruited from the paediatric infectious diseases clinic of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital for blood glucose levels using finger-prick testing with an Accu-check glucose meter and test strips. Clinical information was obtained via clinical history and medical records. Data was analyzed to examine the relationship between FBG and the classes of HAART, duration of illness and treatment using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results FBG was significantly associated with the classes of HAART (x2=12.4, p = 0.017). In addition, there was a significant association between FBG and duration of illness [F(2, 81) = 6.0; P = 0.004], as well as FBG and duration on HAART [F(2, 81) = 7.9; P = 0.001]. However, duration on HAART and type of HAART were the significant predictors of FBG in this study accounting for 10.5% and 4.1% of the variance, respectively. Conclusions There is a greater risk of dysglycemia in paediatric patients with a longer cumulative exposure to HAART. Routine blood glucose checks among children on HAART, especially those who have received HAART for a longer duration of time may therefore be useful in their management.

Abstract
The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has caused some metabolic problems to people who suffer from HIV. ART probably is not the sole reason for these metabolic disorders. Most likely, HIV itself affects the metabolism as well. We conducted research to find the prevalence of the different types of metabolic disorders among HIV(+) patients. Female gender, high BMI, and older age are among the risk factors for the occurrence of metabolic disorders. Regarding dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia and low high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are the most common types of dyslipidemia in the studies we included. Protease inhibitors (PIs) are widely known as the most common class of antiretroviral drugs that cause metabolic disorders, and some studies in our review also demonstrated this knowledge. In our review, we concluded that HIV and ART concurrently alter the metabolism, but further research is required about this substantial topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of the study were to describe the prevalence of obesity in the Pharmacokinetic and Clinical Observations in People over Fifty (POPPY) cohort, to identify demographic, clinical and HIV-specific factors associated with obesity, and to characterize the association between obesity and sociodemographic, clinical and HIV-specific factors and quality of life (QoL). METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was carried out of baseline data from the three groups ["older" people with HIV infection (PWH) aged ≥ 50 years, "younger" PWH aged < 50 years and HIV-negative controls aged ≥ 50 years] within the POPPY cohort. Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2 . RESULTS A total of 1361 subjects were included in the study, of whom 335 (24.6%) were obese. The prevalence of obesity was higher in controls (22.3%) than in older (16.8%) and younger (14.2%) PWH, with no differences between the two groups of PWH. Factors associated with obesity were older age, female gender, black African ethnicity and alcohol consumption. Recreational drug use and a higher current CD4 T-cell count (in PWH) were associated with lower and higher odds of being obese, respectively. The presence of obesity was associated with worse physical health QoL scores, higher odds of having cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and hypertension, but lower odds of having osteopenia/osteoporosis, irrespective of HIV status. CONCLUSIONS Despite a lower prevalence of obesity in PWH, specific subgroups (women, people of black African origin and older people) were more likely to be obese, and negative health consequences of obesity were evident, regardless of HIV status. Whether targeted preventive strategies can reduce the burden of obesity and its complications in PWH remains to be determined.

Abstract
People living with HIV who are on antiretroviral treatment are at increased risk of developing premature cardiovascular disease. Children with perinatal HIV infection (PHIV) have survived through their adolescence and are entering adulthood. We determined the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, abnormal biochemical markers, and characterized body composition parameters in youth living with perinatal HIV infection. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Research Institute for Health Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand from December 2017 to February 2018. PHIV-youths between 15 <25 years of age who were receiving ART were enrolled. Data collection included ART-related history, blood pressure, and anthropometric measurements. Body composition including android, gynoid fat mass, and total body fat were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Fasting blood was drawn to test for lipid profile, glucose, and high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP). One hundred and twenty PHIV-youths (48% female) were enrolled. Their mean age and the median duration on ART were 20.3 (SD2.6) and 14.1 (IQR 10.4–14.9) years, respectively; 76 (63%) were on first-line non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors-based regimens. Thirty-three (28%), 74 (62%), and 13 (11%) of PHIV-youths were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), normal (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2), and overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2), respectively. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 10.6% (95%CI 5.0–16.0). Seventy-six of 113 (67.3%) of PHIV-youths had lipid alteration; the most prevalent types being low HDL (46.9%) and increased triglycerides (27.4%). Overall 43 (35.9%) had increased hsCRP (16.7% with immediate and 19.2% with high risk for CVD). Females had significantly higher percentage of android and gynoid fat, but lower Android to gynoid ratio (AGR) compared to males. There were 77%, 31%, and 21% of PHIV-youths in the overweight, normal weight, and underweight group with AGR in tertile 3, respectively. In conclusion, we documented presence of metabolic syndrome in 10.6% of PHIV-youths on ART. Increase AGR representing abdominal obesity was detected even in youths with normal BMI or underweight.

Abstract
Objective The use of some antiretroviral drugs has been associated with a higher risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) in HIV-infected patients, but the risk associated with antiretroviral drug combinations remains unclear. We investigated the association between first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens, recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016, and the risk of DM in adults. Method We selected all HIV-infected adults within the Thai National AIDS Program who started a first-line ART regimen consisting the following between October 2006 and September 2013: zidovudine+lamivudine+nevirapine; tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)+lamivudine+nevirapine; zidovudine+lamivudine+efavirenz; TDF+lamivudine/emtricitabine+efavirenz; zidovudine+lamivudine+ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (LPV/r); or TDF+lamivudine+LPV/r. Diagnosis of DM was defined as having at least 2 of the following characteristics: fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dl, 2010 WHO ICD-10 codes E11-E14, or prescription of antidiabetic drugs. To identify ART regimens associated with DM, we used competing risks regression models that considered mortality without DM as a competing event and adjusted for sex, age, pancreas disease, and stratified by groups defined by a score summarizing the propensity to receive a specific first-line ART regimen. Results Data from 35 710 adults (49.1% male; median age, 35.0 years; median follow-up, 2.0 years) were included. In the multivariable analysis with zidovudine+lamivudine+nevirapine as the reference group, a higher risk of DM was observed with TDF+lamivudine/emtricitabine+efavirenz (adjusted sub-distribution hazard ratio [aSHR], 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3–1.9), zidovudine+lamivudine+efavirenz (aSHR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.7–2.3), and TDF+lamivudine+LPV/r (aSHR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.9–3.9). Conclusions Several of the WHO recommended ART regimens, particularly tenofovir + lamivudine +LPV/r and regimens containing efavirenz, may be associated with an increased risk of DM.

Abstract
Increasing evidence shows that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations have an important effect on metabolic disorders, but such studies have not been conducted in HIV-infected patients in Asia. We investigated the distribution of mtDNA haplogroups and their correlation with metabolic disorders in HIV-infected patients. A cross-sectional survey was performed among 296 HIV patients older than the age of 40 years in a rural prefecture, Eastern China. The entire mtDNA sequence was amplified by polymerase chain reaction using four overlapping pairs of primers that have been standardly used. In this sample, mtDNA haplogroups B, D, M7, and F were the most dominant haplogroups. The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was 36.1%, and was highest (77.8%) among those with haplogroup G and lowest (21.4%) among those with haplogroup M8. In multivariable analysis, haplogroups G and N9 were significantly associated with the presence of MetS [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 13.5, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.9-94.7; aOR = 8.1, 95% CI: 1.8-36.1; respectively]. Moreover, patients with haplogroup G had increased odds of elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (aOR = 10.1, 95% CI: 1.4-71.1), patients with haplogroup N9 had increased odds of elevated triglycerides (aOR = 13.5, 95% CI: 2.4-76.8). No significant association between mtDNA haplogroups and other MetS components was observed. Our data demonstrate the association between mtDNA haplogroups and MetS in HIV-infected patients. The Asian-specific mtDNA haplogroups G and N9 may confer higher risk for the development of MetS in HIV-infected patients, which requires further longitudinal investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) (i.e., plasma triglycerides [TGs] >1,000 mg/dL) in children is a rare but pernicious and understudied condition. Our objective was to evaluate the etiology, characteristics, and sequelae of severe pediatric HTG. METHODS This was a retrospective electronic medical record review of pediatric patients with severe HTG at a tertiary referral Children's hospital over a 17-year period. RESULTS There were a total of 124 patients with severe HTG. The etiology varied: hemato-oncologic (n = 48), diabetes and insulin resistance-related (n = 46), total parenteral nutrition (TPN)-related (n = 6), renal (n = 12), and miscellaneous (n = 12). There was considerable variability in the number of days for the plasma TGs to decrease to <1,000 mg/dL (147.7 ± 567.3 days) and to further decrease to <500 mg/dL (136.84 ± 230.9 days). Patients with diabetes required the longest time to improve their plasma TGs (165.8 ± 305.7 days) compared to other groups. There were 11 cases of pancreatitis, comorbid with diabetes (n = 5), hemato-oncologic conditions (n = 3), and TPN (n = 3). Sixty-seven patients (54%) had persistent HTG. CONCLUSION Severe HTG in pediatrics is commonly due to secondary causes. Patients with diabetes tend to have a longer course of dyslipidemia. A substantial number of patients had persistent dyslipidemia, indicating underlying genetic susceptibility to HTG that is phenotypically expressed consequent to a secondary metabolic insult.
